The revised All Facilities Letter (AFL 21-34.3) includes updates to the COVID-19 vaccine requirements for healthcare personnel (HCP). The new letter requires HCP to be up to date with vaccinations and receive boosters by March 1, 2022, unless exempt. It also allows HCP who have completed their primary vaccination series and provide proof of subsequent COVID-19 infection to defer booster administration for up to 90 days from the date of clinical diagnosis or first positive test. Additionally, the revised letter updates testing requirements, mandating at least twice-weekly COVID-19 testing for unvaccinated exempt HCP and booster-eligible HCP who have not yet received their booster in acute care or long-term care settings, and at least weekly testing for such HCP in other healthcare settings.
